    The pizza was underdone- but they were responsive to this comment. ( this is the first time ever that we have had an issue— maybe they were overbooked and needed the oven space?- poor excuse, but probably true). The hostess, however, was not either listening or sympathetic when I asked for their WARMEST TABLE, and we were brought to one without a heater. When I asked for a heater near a vacant table to be brought over, the hostess made a comment to the effect that I didn’t need the heater, and she didn’t think it was cold- this despite every other occupied table using their heater. I said to her that I would appreciate it if we could have the unused heater- and thankfully someone else overheard the exchange and brought the heater over— but where I come from, you don’t argue with people who are your customers and are only asking to be treated the same way everyone else was being treated. It was cold, and everyone BUT THE HOSTESS, apparently knew it. She wasn’t helpful at all. Luckily, we enjoy coming here, and hope that this note gets back to management so they can explain to a hostess that arguing with customers is not a good idea.

    The food was amazing! The spicy honey on the pizzas was phenomenal. The Buona Forchetta pasta was out of this world! It truly isn't a top dining spot, BUT it's a good place to go on a date and there is some places to go visit after!

    A holiday tradition for my family that never disappoints. Authentic Italian, great wine selection, all priced right and the service is first rate, no matter how busy they are.

    Food was incredible! Vegan menu options were great for our vegan guest. Specials were delicious. Our server “Zsa Zsa” was so nice and did a great job.

    Lasagna was okay, I think build your own bolognese was better
